We never met Phil, but he helped talk to our Grab driver to get to the place. Also, his aunt lives there, and she was super sweet and helpful despite her limited English. She even helped us get a taxi to the airport. The location is close to Wat Pho and the Grand Palace, as well as a great local morning market. Just keep in mind that the room is on the 3rd floor, so you'll have to carry your luggage up the stairs.
